Also available today is 41999 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition LEGO Technic set. This set was designed by a Russian fan and chosen out of over a thousand submissions to be turned into an official set. There is a limited production run on this set of only 20,000. Each set will come with a unique license plate number ensuring each model to be unique. It is chock full of details such as dark blue technic panels, a working motorized winch, and Power Functions headlights. Did I also mention it's remote controlled? It is currently back ordered as I write this, with shipping estimated to be in 30 days. Price is $199.99.

Wow, has there even been another set that sold out this quickly? I think they only made 20,000 of them. I ordered two the day they became available and got them within a week. I was planning on building one this weekend as it looks like an amazing set.

Awful if you view LEGO as a collectible investment rather than a toy, I suppose. Otherwise, I fail to see how doing another run of a set that sells through this fast would be anything but good. Obviously, since they (rather unfortunately, IMHO) sold it as such a collectible, any new run would have to have some sort of difference. Certainly wouldn't have the different license plates.
